Discovering the wine region of Patrimonio

Patrimonio is an appellation for white, red and rosé wines from the southern tip of the Cap Corse peninsula in Corsica, an island in the Mediterranean Sea between France and Italy. The communes involved are Barbaggio, Farinole, Oletta, Poggio-d'Oletta, Saint-Florent, Santo-Pietro-di-Tenda and Patrimonio itself. The soils of the valleys and hillsides of this region are distinct from the rest of the island in that they are largely composed of calcareous clay and limestone. The majority of Patrimonio's vineyards are located on the coast of the Gulf of St.

Florent, whose Clear blue waters attract crowds of tourists in the summer. Because of this ready-made consumer base, only a small percentage of Patrimonio wine leaves Corsica. The wines are made from traditional Grape varieties, with 100% Vermentino for the whites and 90% Sangiovese (called Nielluccio here) for the reds and rosés, with a hint of Grenache or Sciaccarello. .

The word of the wine: Presses

The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
